According to Evangelical leaders, Sarah Palin wouldn’t be allowed to teach or speak in one of their churches?
Sarah P asked:
according to I Timothy 2:12. According to them, Paul also forbid them to have authority over a man. So, if Governor Palin debates Joseph Biden on TV, would they have to turn off their TVs? Would they also not be able to vote for her because they can’t allow a woman to be in authority over them?

I’m half-joking but I’m half-serious.
By the way, I am a born-again Bible-believing Christian. I just disagree with the Evangelical interpretation of I Timothy 2:12.
It will be interesting to see if evangelical men will vote for her, since women are not to instruct or lead men, per biblical writings. You make a valid point.
Sarah.. They were forbidden to have authority and teach in CHURCH which is who Paul’s letters were mostly written too.. The Churches…
how is a debate, preaching? it is argumentative to debate, preaching is in a bubble. She would probobly agree, that her role is not behind a pulpit discussing the Bible. Her role is supportive to Mccain to get him elected.
